The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 15

The palace servants led a few anxious people back to the banquet, but there were not many people at the banquet.

The strange thing is that the queen didn't embarrass them, and didn't even summon them.

After the palace servants ushered a few people into their seats, they also left.

Mrs. Mu looked at the three of them and asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Are you looking so ugly?"

Mu Qingling was still angry in her heart, she just sat there sullenly and didn't speak.

Mu Qingyu said quickly: "Don't worry, grandma, it's nothing. Maybe it's because the night wind is shady and cool. After walking in the imperial garden, I feel a little cold."

Anyway, the scene in the imperial garden would reach Mrs. Mu's ears without her telling.

"Don't get cold, drink a glass of wine to warm yourself up." Mrs. Mu said with concern, her eyes were fixed on Mu Qingling, and she never left her for a moment.

After a long time, Mu Qingling twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Thank you grandma for your concern."

Mrs. Mu suppressed the doubts in her heart, and asked after getting on the carriage.

The queen was talking with the people around her, her eyes glanced over Mu Qingyu inadvertently, and the smile on the corner of her mouth grew stronger.

Just now in the Royal Garden, she knew about the dispute between the young ladies of Duke Yan’s Mansion and Duke Ding’s Mansion. The palace servant also said that the second lady of Duke Ding’s Mansion stood aside, and she didn’t know how to persuade and resolve the dispute. She looked weak. look like.

The queen was overjoyed, and the virtuous king just needed such a princess.

When the Xian Wang married such a Xian Wang concubine, and then sent a few beauties with a heart higher than the sky, and the backyard caught fire, let's see how the Xian Wang still has the energy to fight against her.

Right now, the queen is more and more pleasing to Mu Qingyu's eyes.

After the farce just now, the three young ladies of the Mu family, including the always arrogant Mu Qingling, dare not do it again.

The three of them sat silently on their seats, waiting for the show to end.

On the other side of the screen, there was an interlacing of toasts and cups, and it was very lively.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Qingyu saw Mu Qingxue return.

I saw Mu Qingxue's footsteps were sloppy, and her cheeks were stained with a blush, which was different from the blush after drinking, this blush was more coquettish and charming.

Mu Qingyu sneered repeatedly in her heart, and sure enough, Mu Qingxue went to find King Xian.

She lowered her head and stared at the table in a daze.

Not long after the banquet was over, the Holy Majesty and the Empress got up first and drove back to the palace. As the guests walked, the palace staff dismantled the screen in the middle.

Mu Qingyu was walking with her head down, but when she heard Mrs. Mu yell Ling'er, she turned her head, and happened to see Mu Qingling staring at the male guest opposite him in a daze.

Mu Qingyu looked over, just in time to see Li Zhao who was upright.Li Zhao also noticed her, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes.

Mu Qingyu glanced at Li Zhao, then at Mu Qingling. Could it be that the meaning of those eyes was to warn her not to tell what happened tonight?
She seemed to have grasped Mu Qingling and Li Zhao's tricks all of a sudden...

"Second sister?" Mu Qingqiu tugged at Mu Qingyu's sleeve from behind.

Mu Qingyu regained consciousness and hurried forward.

After the Mu family got into the carriage, Mrs. Mu originally wanted Mu Qingling to go back to Duke Dingguo's mansion together, but it was a pity that Mu Qingling refused in every possible way.

There was no other way, so the carriage from Duke Dingguo's mansion had to go around Zhang's house again.

Back at Duke's Mansion, Mu Qingyu fell asleep soon after washing up.But Mu Qingxue couldn't fall asleep, she dragged Wang Yueniang and talked non-stop.

Wang Yueniang's eyes widened, she covered her mouth with her hand in disbelief, and said in shock, "You really talked to King Xian?"

"That's right, we talked for a long time." Recalling the scene at that time, Mu Qingxue's heart fluttered, "The prince is exactly the same as people say, he is very friendly."

Wang Yueniang smiled wryly: "Forget it, the second lady has a marriage contract with the Xian Wang. After she becomes the Xian Wang Concubine, are you willing to be a side concubine?"

"Of course I don't want to. What if I say I want to be Princess Xian?"

Wang Yueniang hurriedly covered Mu Qingxue's mouth in shock, and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not good for people to hear you."

Mu Qingxue pulled Wang Yueniang's hand away, "I'm serious, at the banquet tonight, the empress has noticed me, so let me go over and talk."

After finishing speaking, she raised her hand to show off the red agate bracelet on her wrist, "This is a gift from the empress."

Wang Yueniang was admiring the bracelet with Mu Qingxue's hand, and she slowly showed a smile that filled her eyes.

"It's good to be appreciated by the empress, but the marriage contract between the second young lady and the virtuous king was granted by the emperor. Did you say that it can't be accomplished?"

"Mother, don't worry," Mu Qingxue smiled arrogantly, "I will definitely become a princess, and you will have inexhaustible blessings for the rest of your life."

On the second day, Mrs. Mu called the three young ladies to speak.

Mrs. Mu's complexion was gloomy, and her frown did not loosen even when she saw Mu Qingyu.

"Are you aware of your mistake?" Mrs. Mu asked in a deep voice.

The three of them looked at each other, and Mu Qingyu, being the oldest, asked, "Why is grandma angry?"

"The people from Duke Yan's mansion bullied Ling'er last night, why didn't you help? Someone from Zhang's family came early this morning, saying that Ling'er was injured a lot during the tussle last night."

When Mrs. Mu heard this in the morning, her heart ached so much that she hurriedly called the three of them over to interrogate her.

Mu Qingyu hurriedly asked with concern: "Is the big sister's injury not serious?"

Mrs. Mu still had a sullen face: "It's a skin trauma, and it will heal soon. But Ling'er is very disadvantaged by two people in the Duke of Yan's mansion. Why don't you sisters help? Just look at Ling'er helplessly." Being bullied?"

"Grandmother," Mu Qingxue blinked, "I wasn't there at the time, if I was there, I would definitely help Big Sister."

Mrs. Mu glanced at Mu Qingxue, her dull gaze was still scanning between Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingqiu.

Mu Qingyu swayed and said weakly, "We were also terrified when we entered the palace for the first time."

"It's enough to be frightened?" Mrs. Mu said angrily.Her Ling'er was well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child, she was not willing to say even a harsh word, how could she have imagined that she would be bullied?
And Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingqiu were just watching stupidly from the side, which made Mrs. Mu even more angry.

Mu Qingqiu shrank his neck and hid behind Mu Qingyu, not daring to speak.

Mu Qingxue stood aside, watching the jokes of the two of them with leisure.Hmph, fortunately she was smart last night and went to see King Xian, otherwise she would be reprimanded by Mrs. Mu now.

Mu Qingyu was aware of Mrs. Mu's temperament, and she was very defensive, and she only protected Mu Qingling and her brother Mu Hengzhi.

Before Mu Qingling's interests were touched, Mrs. Mu was willing to treat Mu Qingyu well.

But once touched, Mrs. Mu will unconditionally favor Mu Qingling.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Qingyu said, "Grandmother, my third sister and I are willing to go to Zhang's house, apologize to Big Sister, and ask Big Sister for forgiveness."

Mu Qingyu's words were sincere and sincere, and Mrs. Mu's anger dissipated a little.Either way, let Mu Qingling decide how to punish these two.

"I'll ask someone to tell Zhang's family that the two of you can go there after lunch."

"Yes." Mu Qingyu and Mu Qingqiu said in unison.

Soon, after lunch, the carriage was ready, and the two went to Zhang's house.
